Hi Myriam, thanks for this article. What do you think about embedding a snippet review system on a website. For example to get a ranking system for your articles or for some listings. For example we are working on a list of artist residency in a country, the article is listing them all and we add ours among them. Then we would let the possibility to review each. It is a Microdata / Microformat sytem and may display star ratings in search results in Google so this is good but it also make the page heavier to load...

Thank you Meghan, even if we can know that we have to do that, it is great to read a fresh and personal synthesis in order to readjust our mindset. Because with time, events and emotions we have a natural tendency to deviate :p It can also be used for clients.

Sometimes you notice a huge drop on your keywords but in fact it comes from a bug from the app your are using and not from google. I am using a good but kinda slow app called serpmojo, and they had a problem for a while. I was blindly trusting their results so I tried to make different analysis for hours before noticing the problem was coming from them...

It is the same with economics or anything else, most of people think causality is correlation. So as Moz (and Moz is ranking at the highest position for google algorithm changes) tells: "Each year, Google changes its search algorithm around 500–600 times" I would say it is important to have a strategy, adapt it of course, but not changing it every day. Or if there is a major breakthrough like for example google bots will be able to crawl the voice. Soon soon :-)

True, I am personally using responsive design and AMP (there is a great plug-in for that) with wordpress and I would say that the ranking is not negatively affected because it follows these standards, it isn't positively affected either.

Very interesting! Except that if you click on any Post as Photo, it doesn't act as a link. The image is expanded, that's all. Only source and links from the description art working. Or do you mean that you add a small image with a link in the description area? Sorry, it is not clear for me :p

I don't think one is better than the other. For example, facebook has the groups and Tumblr doesn't. And the groups are still used a lot to sp..read an article. I really prefer Tumblr as well because the community is friendly and reactive. Also, because it is less popular it is less hacked.

I tried on one Tumblr and the DA of course dropped to 1, but curiously the PA dropped from 36 to 3. It has been 1 month and no change. In fact when you "embed" a Domain Name in a Tumblr blog, all your Posts change from "name.tumblr/manynumbers/postname to domainname/manynumbers/postname so maybe that's why you lose everything. So I advise to do it from the beginning :-P

If someone uses his Domain Name for his Tumblr, with for example a Page Authority of 40. Obviously, he will lose the Domain Authority of Tumblr, but will he lose the Page Authority too? If yes, can he recover it rapidly or will be very hard to reach 40 again.

Thank you for this update Takeshi :-). The only "bad" thing about the number of Tumlbr blogs is that, I am sure you know, someone can, with the same account, create as many blogs as he wants and switch between them in a second. And this is more difficult with Pinterest for example. So the number of account in Pinterest is closer to the number of blogs. Tumblr is a bit spammy in that way, what do you think?

I am thinking about writing an article about Tumblr too. But exclusively for visual artists (Glitch art, Gif art, Digital art, Street art...) because it has a great community there. Your article has two years age now^^, do you think something has changed with Tumblr since then?

Dear Marie, thank you for this great article. I have been searching about that but I am still not sure: I made several comments on a websitefrom the same niche that is using CommentLuv plug-in. And now my website is taking more than 13 000 backlinks (no-follow: true) because the webdesigner put a list of the best commentLuv user on the Footer! I tried to contact many times the owner of the websiste to change that, and I have no answer. Is this bad for my website and do I need to disavow the domain name? Thank you by advance.
